1) Measure the frequency response (probably without windowing, using the "All" radio button above the plot) and
perhaps 1/6th or 1/12th octave smoothing. Make a number of measurements at different location and average
them into the Average curve. See:

Room Equalization

.

2) Open the Equalizer and use shelf sections to manually adjust the upper or lower ends of the response, and
possibly to fix obvious peaks. Set the other filter sections for Auto.

3) Set the frequency rang for the automatic optimization

4) Set the target curve shape as desired (a -0.25dB/Octave downward sloped curve is usually a good-sounding
choice), and adjust the offset for best fit.

5) Set any boost limits you may desire. A 6 or 7dB limit (or lower) is a good idea usually.

6) Click "Reset..and Opt" or "Optimize.." to start the process.

7) Stop when you are satisfied, or when equalization has run out of gas, or to change some settings before
optimizing some more with the "Optimize..." button.

8) When you are done, click on the "View/Export Biquads" button to bring up a display of the values that will be
exported to a file for MiniDSP. Save it to a file, and then import it into MiniDSP for loading to the equalizer
hardware.

9) Check the response at various seats to see the general improvement, then do some listening.
